This is the auto-generated caption and playback that the platform has started in the last few months and the first impressions are not pleasing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The trend of watching videos on these platforms have increased in the last few years, and YouTube is trying to bring new tools that will make the watching experience pleasant and easy. However, the new auto-generated tool is anything but nice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>YouTube Auto-Generated Audio: How It Works<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">You know how AI tools are taking over the internet and making sound (almost) everything robotic? That\u2019s the first thing you notice about the auto captions and playback on YouTube. This can be especially annoying if you have a video in Hindi and you see the people in the content talking in English, with the dubbing not up to scratch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The AI era is exciting but content is becoming dull because the human touch and emotion is missing from their speech delivery and it is all the more like talking or even listening to a robot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Auto-Generated Playback On YouTube: Can You Disable It?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Well, the good news is that you don\u2019t need to tolerate these robotic voices on YouTube. There is an option in the settings which allows you to disable the feature and let you watch the videos in their original form.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Open YouTube <\/span><\/li>\n<li>Tap on any video<\/li>\n<li>Click on the three-dot menu on the top right<\/li>\n<li>Click on Audio track<\/li>\n<li>Select Hindi or any original audio option<\/li>\n<li>Now the video will play in its local language version<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">YouTube even has auto-generated captions which can be annoying if the subtitles don\u2019t match the words and timing of the video. You can disable that as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The platform even got subtle design changes recently, including a cleaner video player for web and mobile users. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/youtube-is-upgrading-the-video-player-with-cleaner-design-for-web-and-mobile-users-ws-l-9640086.html\">platform is making these changes to offer a cleaner<\/a> and more immersive viewing experience as YouTube now becomes the platform to watch videos, listen to music and even watch short videos. You might notice these updates in a subtle way but they will show the effects. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"S Aadeetya\" title=\"S Aadeetya\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-2471660947 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-2471660947 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>October 21, 2025, 13:39 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-2471660947 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> YouTube Now Offers Auto-Generated Audio And It Is Not Good: What\u2019s The Issue?<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
